Important to note that, as always, Evo runs several channels on twitch. The Hunter x Hunter game is currently being showcased on the main channel, but you can watch tournament play on the other channels.

As someone who doesn't play fighting games and never beat Shao Khan, why do all the high level fights look so basic when there are so many flashy moves.

Bonus question, do any of the top ranked players just play and not pay attention to frame data etc

Bonus bonus question how can you seriously play against a the CPU in fighting games. How is the AI even coded? Just quicker reactions to what you do? Or any predictive/ML stuff going on?

Flashy moves usually need to be set up by landing a basic attack in order to not be punishable. Otherwise, the opponent can block the big move and counter-attack easily. So high level battles usually involve a lot of little pokes, zoning, feeling things out until an opening is exposed, then they will burn all their meter to make it count.

Is it possible to play these games reaction only do you think?

Hmm, well, depends. Fighting game pros can usually get good at lots of different fighting games, and a lot of that is reactions and being able to read opponents' intentions etc. The execution requirements for moves vary a lot between games and even characters (think charge characters in street fighter compared to Ken). Reactions alone typically won't cut it but being gifted in that regard will certainly help.
 
Glad we have a thread!

Was going to make one but I'm still a tad salty about being permabanned from their main twitch channel in 2021, over a troll post that got lost in a sea of messages.

Figured it may have been auto-modded, so I appealed a year later and was denied. Probably by somebody who wasn't even born when I was playing fighting games. FGC has really changed over the years.

Anyway, I've been to EVO a couple of times and it was fun. Will catch what I can and probably at least watch Top 8.

Announcement wise, I'm hoping for:
MVC Collection shadow drop
Arc Systems One Piece Fighterz (yeah, I live in hope)
Solid 2XKO news. Release date?
 
I'm at the event right now, don't play or watch fighting games but always wanted to go since it is such a fun watch each year.

They have an awesome free play arcade area, gonna rock some Densha de Go later
 
Having a 7 Cheese Pizza and Jack Daniel's Whiskey Coca Cola while watching Evo. (I'm a Street Fighter and Tekken guy)

Which players are ya'll rooting for?

Street Fighter 6 - Xian, Tokido, Kakeru, Daigo.

Tekken 8 - Knee, JDCR.
 
I'm hoping the release date for the Marvel vs Capcom collection gets announced during this. It was cool to see Vice and Mature get announced for KOF XV though.

It's equal parts basic fighting game knowledge and reaction, and you won't go far without either. You can hop into a brand new game and do relatively well solely with reaction, so long as you comprehend the core concepts of the genre- block beats attack, attack beats throw, and throw beats block, along with a general understanding that any move typically will be equally as good as it is bad- if it hits hard, it'll leave you vulnerable if it doesn't land or is blocked, whereas a jab won't do much damage but gives you the chance to immediately block or follow up with something else. As pointed out, skillful play is a matter of spacing, poking, baiting, and getting a feel for weaknesses in your opponent's play style. Your best moves aren't necessarily the big flashy ones, but the ones which allow you to control the flow of the fight, condition your opponent, and turn the tide in the right circumstances.

Crazy times we live in. This game is so ugly and broken but I played the absolute shit out of it back in the day.

I'm gonna scream if there's gonna be a Capcom Vs Snk 2 remastered with rollback netcode. That was my favourite fighting game of all time when I was a kid.
 


Maximilian and friends streaming Garou 2, it's looking pretty good. I want to see the full roster already.
 
Looking at videos online, it seems that there are a lot of arcade cabinets and lots of people playing them.

Is this something that has been happening a lot in the recent years or is something that got "better" with the Sony acquisition of EVO?

Probably that Sony money. I went in 2011 and 2013 and don't remember it being a thing.
 
This whole event feels like one big ad. I'm so sick of hearing Chipotle between every match. There are so many better tourneys.
 
Will Arslan Ash take home Tekken this year? I'm super impressed to see Pakistan rise up in Tekken. What are they doing differently?

NRS must make games just for SonicFox.
